Upon arrival

Upon arrival, our competent technician will first check out your car to ensure that it is the problem of wrong fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only ask you for a nominal amount.

Our technician will be bringing the required tools and fresh fuel with him so if he learns that it is actually the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will drain out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and refill the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the gasoline station. We are aware that you might not be having enough money with you, but you don’t have to worry because we take any common debit or credit card thus you can use them to pay.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

You should know that wrong fuel is not the only problem which can make your engine run abnormally. The existence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But you should also note that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

You can also notice the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's exactly why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

Still, there's no need to fret. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can certainly help you. By using the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road. Apart from that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can change them out on the spot. You don't have to call for another service provider to do that.

Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You might also want to know if we offer other services apart from dealing with the problem of incorrect fuel.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems through the day, they will have a tank filled with contaminated fuel they have to get rid of. These days, such fuel must be discarded correctly since pouring it out might pollute the surroundings and the local water supply. But we can handle it for you since we have the ideal equipment, and we are certified by the Environment Agency to do so.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is another separate service that we deliver to commercial and private customers at a fee. All you should do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it does not matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it safely and securely.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out anywhere in Kent to assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
